TI  - Assessment of Lung Disease in Finishing Pigs at Slaughter: Pulmonary Lesions and 
      Implications on Productivity Parameters.

AB  - Swine respiratory disease is associated with productive losses. We evaluated the 
      prevalence of lung lesions with an emphasis on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mh), 
      porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and porcine reproductive and respiratory 
      syndrome virus (PRRSV), as well as the impact on productive parameters in 108 
      finishing pigs at slaughter. Pathologic, immunohistochemical (IHC) and serologic 
      analyses were performed. Pneumonic processes were observed in 73.1% of the 
      animals. They mainly consisted of cranioventral bronchopneumonia (CBP) (46.3%) 
      and pleuritis (17.6%). Microscopically, bronchointerstitial pneumonia (67.4%) was 
      common and was occasionally combined (27.9%) with interstitial pneumonia (IP). Mh 
      and PCV2-antigens were detected in bronchointerstitial pneumonia (70.7%) and IP 
      cases (33.3%). There were low titers against Mh (18%) and high titers against 
      PRRSV (100%) and PCV2 (65%). Animals with CBP remained at the farm longer; those 
      with >10% of lung parenchyma involvement were sent later (208.8 days old) and had 
      a lower average carcass weight (74.1 kg) and a lower daily weight gain (500.8 
      gr/day) compared with animals without lesions (567.2 gr/day, 77.7 kg, 200.8 days 
      old). We suggest that animals that do not reach the weight at slaughter should be 
      sent to slaughter regardless to avoid further negative impacts of respiratory 
      disease in productive parameters.
